Top Five Romantic Desserts





Valentines Day is just around the corner, and there is nothing more romantic and sweet than making dessert for your special someone. For this week I’ve decided to share with you the top five romantic desserts for you and your honey to share on Valentine’s Day.

#1: Chocolate Covered Strawberries: The most simple and yet the most classic V-day desserst. I am an RN and my time is precious so this one is definitely my favorite. All you need for this one is 16 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons of shortening and a pound of strawberries. Just melt the chocolate and shortening in a double boiler. Stick the strawberries on some toothpicks and let the fun begin!

#2: White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake: Just the name of this dessert has my mouth watering. What’s better than chocolate, fruit AND cheesecake? Yum! This one is a bit more complicating but so much more decadent. Click the name for the recipe.

#3: Oreo Balls: So the name of this one doesn’t sound quite as romantic, but these rich chocolate balls are such a cute dessert! Just grind up a pack of Oreo cookies with an 8 oz. block of cream cheese and roll into balls. Dip them in melted white chocolate and let cool. For this specific holiday, you could tint the white chocolate with red food coloring for a perfect Valentine’s Day treat!

#4: Nutty Caramel Clusters: If you’re someone who doesn’t like super sweet desserts, this one is for you. Don’t be fooled by how impressive they look, they are a breeze to make! Click the name for the recipe.

#5: Irish Cream Creme Brulee: With only 5 ingredients, this is a dessert that is super simple, yet looks very elegant. It’s an adult twist on a classic dessert! Click the name for the recipe.

So there you have it. Five great dessert options to make your Valentine’s Day dinner one to remember!
